Garlic & Herb Pita Chips

Description:

You can make your own tasty pita chips in a matter of minutes. Just cut pita bread into wedges (stale pitas work very well), brush them with a little olive oil and bake. Not only do homemade pita chips save you money, you’ll also cut calories by 16 percent.

Ingredients:

4 6-inch whole-wheat pitas

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

1

Position oven racks in middle and lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Coat 2 large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

2

Cut pitas into 8 wedges each and separate each wedge at the fold. Place the pita wedges, rough-side up, in an even layer on the prepared baking sheets. Brush with oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt.

3

Bake the pita wedges, switching the baking sheets halfway through, until golden and crispy, 6 to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness).
